Creating Custom E-Learning Solutions Part I: General Business Overview

Custom E-Learning solutions begin from a business perspective. You should have a clear understanding of why the training is needed and how you will measure its success. I start with general business questions to identify gaps, needs, and metrics. Here are a few:

What organizational or business problem are you trying to solve?

What new skill or change in behavior are you trying to accomplish?

Is training the best approach?

How will you know if it is successful?

What metrics will be used? Knowing that a manager will eventually ask for a report about the success of your E-Learning project, keep your metrics relevant and show how they solved the business problem.
